What's the deal here?

Before anyone from the obvious group of posters who are going to jump in with their nickers in a knot over this question, let me say I like and respect Hatton.

He's an exciting fighter and I think his move to the US and taking on someone he new was a bad style match up was a good move and showed he's serious about being taken seriously.

But he's been half calling out Floyd since beating Tszyu, and that was a year ago. After beating Tszyu he wanted two more fights. Then it was "I'll fight him in 2006".

Before and after fighting Collazo he was talking about Maywether.

Now, Floyd has announced he's fighting Nov. 4th, and no opponent is set. Why isn't Hatton calling for this fight? We saw in the Collazo fight he could lose a fight if he stays at Welterweight. So could Floyd if the stars were alligned.

Why not jump at the chance to fight Floyd in November?

Emmanuel Augustus would of been a way better fight for Hatton

And I'll tell you why Hatton isn't 'screaming' for a Mayweather fight. Because Hatton basically unified 140 and was the 'top dog' there and Mayweather still wanted the larger portions of the money. Boxing is a business and no one wants to get ***ed.

Hatton stated that he moved up to 147 specificly to chase after Mayweather and pressure for that fight.

His desire to fight Mayweather is for his legacy, and he's said that several times over.

He Knows He Cant Beat Mayweather At 147, He's A Blown-up Lightwelter....but He's Fooling Himself If He Thinks Floyd Will Go Back To 140 Just To Cater For Hatton's Needs And Go All The Way To England And Fight In A Soccer Stadium That Hatton Was Talking About On **********....he Turned Down A Mayweather Fight In 2004 After His Stinkfest Against Vilches Because He Knew He Would Lose And It Would Be Mayweather Going On To Fight Zoo...he Turned Down Mayweather Twice In 2005......i Dont Know What Hatton Is Playing At...maybe He Isn't A Nice Guy Afterall And Is Just Waiting For The Biggest Money Offer..?

You're not getting my point. When Floyd is wanting 70-30 because of this ****** 'I'm p4p baby!' then there is a problem. Yes, Hatton NEEDS Mayweather for his legacy but he does not want to get ***ed out of money either, especially how he unifed 140 and was the top dog and Mayweather moved up in weight to fight feather fisted (and a 140 lber) Sharmba.

Just like Agustus doesn't have top conditioning right?

The fact that you need to troll after me as often as you do just shows what a wounded little loser you are.

Did you find a new job yet?
